Silver and silver salts have been used since the beginning of civilization, but silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have just recently been discovered. They have been employed as antioxidants and antibacterial, antifungal, and potential anticáncer agents in agriculture and medicine. Many bacteria, including Bacilluscereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Citrobacter koseri, Salmonella typhii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsi Read More

Background: Silent onset and metastasis in tissues make cancer the most devastating illness globally. Monitoring the growth of the tumour and delivering drugs to specific tissues are some of the major issues associated with treatment. However, with an improved understanding of tumour microenvironments and advancements in nanocarriers of drugs, novel nano-targeting pathways that can be utilised by nanocarriers hav Read More

Since the last few years, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been attracting attention from scientific sororities. MOFs are novel porous materials with robust architectures that demonstrate a multitude of applications in theranostics. Interestingly, it shows adaptable porosity, versatile chemical configuration, tunable size and shape, tailorable surface functionalization, etc. MOFs have a very porous network space that m Read More

Background: In Indian traditional medicine, the seeds and bark of Wrightia tinctoria are utilized as remedies for antidiarrheal and antidysenteric purposes, as well as for other medicinal uses. Aim: The primary aim of the study was to explore the green synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles by employing an extract obtained from the Wrightia tinctoria plant and to explore their potential medicinal properties. Objective: This st Read More

Infectious diseases caused by different pathogens are responsible for high mortality across the globe. Multi-drug resistance (MDR) of microorganisms towards different antibiotics has posed a great challenge in treating infectious diseases efficiently. The metal-based nanoparticles (MNPs) have demonstrated great promise in treating infectious diseases because of their inherent antimicrobial potential. Besides, thes Read More

Introduction: According to our research, liposomes loaded with imatinib mesylate were formulated using a rotary evaporator and the thin film hydration method. FTIR, DSC, and XRD studies were carried out to ensure that the drug excipients in the final formulation were compatible. Method: The improved liposome batch (F7) was tested for particle size (353.9 nm), zeta potential (-46.0 mV), drug release (92.8%), and Read More

Aims: The current study aims to create a formulation of Fluvastatin sodium (FVS) loaded niosome for the treatment of antihyperlipidemia using thin film hydration. The developed formulations were statistically optimized by two factors, three levels by 3-level factorial design and were evaluated for vesicle size, entrapment efficiency, zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy, and in-vitro drug release. Methods: The optimiz Read More
